THE LOST BRIDEGROOM..
In a rugged and mountainous dis
trict of Wales is situated a mining
village, noted for this little story
which the miners tell to their chil
dren.
Years ago Tu the little village of
— mere was an numble hut neatly
kept cottage, where an old miner
dwelt with his wife ami only child—
a son. And A lick was but a young
boy when he first descended into the
mines with his lather.
One evening, as the old miner was
returning home from a neighboring
village, his attention was attracted
by a little girl. 18he was weeping
bitterly. A few broken, almost inar
ticulate words told that she had been
deserted by her mother. The child,
weary and hungry, had cried itself to
sleep, and while she was sleeping,
the unnatural parent had forsaken
her.
The old man was touched by the
incident, liaising her tenderly in
his arms, he wended his way home
ward. Kntering the cottage he
placed the light burden in his wife’s
tap, saying:
“God iu biswisdoom has seen fit to
choose our home from all the other
homes in the village to shelter this
deserted child. Knowing your kin#
heart, wife, 1 did not fear to bring the
little one to you.
The dame pressed the good man’s
hand atlectionately in reply, and
Amy—for so the child was called—
was soon seated before a simple re
past.
Aiick, on bis return from the par
ish school, welcomed tiie little girl
w ith every expression of pleasure.
Years passed away, and Amy’s
childhood days were spent.
Without gieat claims to beauty,
there was nevertheless, a charm
about her which ail recognized.
The miner and his write were not
surprised when Aiick one day asked
them for their consent to make Amy
his wife, and to this request they ac
corded their heartfelt blessing
The day for the rustic nuptials was
named, and was looked forward to as
an occasion of general rejoicing. The
happy day arrived and work was sus
pended that all might join in the
merrymaking.
Taking the hand of the trembling
rirl within his own, Aiick, according
to the iong established custom of the
village, led the way to the little vine
covered church, wheie the parish
priest blessed their love. Children
irewed flowers by the wayside and
aug gay songs. K »eb guest had
made a modest offering, hut to no
one would Aiick confide the nature
of his gift, wishing, as he did, to ex
its an agreeable suprise.
When they had returned to the
•ottage Aiick kissed his wife, teiiing
her he would leave her but for a short
season. He left the house, and, with
ne last, lingering look at the door
way where Amy stood waving a
merry adieu, he hurried off in the
direction of the old mines, and a
curve in the road soon hid him from
view. As his iithe figure disappear-
d Amy utieicd a faint sign, sugges
tive of a dull foreboding evil or tiie
iullness of her mirthful joy.
Days passed and search had been
made everywhere. Weeks‘followed;
then months. But the bridegroom
did not return. Nor could his ali
enee and strange disappearance be
accounted for. No clew was gained
by those who searched untiringly. At
engtk hope was abandoned. The
wiuowed bride clung tenaciously to
one idea, which seemed almost like
a folly, in life or death, she would
-eeher husband again before she was
called away from earth. This belief
afforded her comfort, and the neigh
bors, while they did not share the
auviction, humored her in t!
bad been seen during stormy nights
in the mountains. Amy indeed as
serted that she had often heard his
voice calling her, and the light that
burned always from nightful until
dawn in her easement told that her
heart ever kept vigil over her fate.
Tne old cottage continued to be
thought haunted by ghostly visitors,
and because of this superstition none
would occupy it. It gradually fell
into decay. The women of the vil
lage rarely passed the dead miner’s
house without offsriug a prayer for
the restiess soul.
The old mines having been work-
ad, it was at length determined that
new excavations should be opened.
Amid the operations a subterraneous
murmur was heard mingling with
the sound of the pike. Suddenly a
wailing cry rtnt the air, aDd the
earth seemed to tremble. Those of
above rushed in terror to the mouth
of the pit, and the most fearless were
about to descend, when the call bell
was rung violently. Every rope was
at once putin use, while the miners
were white and trembling with in
tense fear.
To every inquiry they accorded
the most disconnected replies, such
as “a man,” “a demon,” “a mira
cle!” At length from one old man
they garnered that they had worked
steadily to open communication be
tween the new and the old mine, but
finding only a small obstruction at
last •» sturdy blow was made, and the
dividing wall had given way; that
when the cioud of dust had passed
from before their astonished eyes
■hey saw a young man: that he was
lying on a rocky bed; he seemed to
be sleeping; that his cheeks looked
fresh aud fair, and that his lips w ere
siill red. Instead of approaching
him they had fled in fright, Allied
with the belief that it was an evil
spirit in human guise that they be
held.
The owner of the mine listened at
tentively. As the old man ceased,he
rushed forward exelaimiug: “To the
mine! To the mine!” Soon the
truth was known. Ere many min
utes three miners issued forth, bear
ing between them the body of the
young man. With a feelliug of irie-
pressilde horror they laid him down
upon the green sward. His clothes
were old and indicated a style worn
years and years ago; ail were how
ever, in a perfect state of preserva
tion. He seemed dressed as though
for a fete. Iu his hand he held a box.
It combined a gold cross, chain aud
medallion. Time bad blackened
these littie pledges which the siran-
ger had doubtless intended for some
\iiiage maiden,
They were about to raise the body
and bear it away for burial when
old Amy was seen approaching.
They made way tor her and those
near at hand w’ere struck by the
singular expressiou of her face. Her
eyes sparkled with new life, and her
steps, usually so feeble, seemed al
most to have gained the elasticity of
youth. Waving them aside w-itli an
imposing dignity, she advanced di
rectly toward the dead man. Kneel
ing, she parted the dark-hair on his
brow and murmured, in a lone of in
expressible love and tenderness, his
name—“Aiick!”
At once all was clear. In an in
stant the old people present reeoguiz
ed the companion of their youth.
Again she spoke:
“Aiick, friend of my childhood, my
husband, I knew that we would meet
again on earth.”
As she ceased speaking, her head
drooped lower and lower, until it
sank upon his breast, as if in prayer.
At lentgh the young men advanced
to remove the body. Gently the wo
men raised the figure of the forlorn
woman. Seeing that she made no
resistance, they bent over her, and
found that she, too, was dead. Her
long, loving vigil was at an end.
The same grave holds them both and
many a sweet fiower is laid upon it
iu remembrance of their fate, while
tiie legend of their love is often re
counted in the humble homes of the
fioor.—A. T. Daily News.
A WIFE’J INFLUENCE.
HAMLET'S TOMBS.
Three of Them Erected to Satisfy the Curiosity
of English ‘Visitors.
London Society.]
Oscar Comettant and a friend went
forth one day to search for Hamlet’s
grave. They traversed the whole
town of Eisiuore, which was only a
fishing village until King Erik of
Pommern raised it to the rank of a
city in 1425, and they reached a hill
on which formerly stood an abbey, at
the extremity of the terraced gardens
of Marienlyst, where, they were told,
they would behold the suoiime meta
physician's tomb. Finding nothing,
they inquired of a passer by: “Ham
let’s tomb, if you please?” “Which
tomb is the one you! want?” “Which
tomb! Are there two Hamlet’ tombs?
He can not have been buried in two
places at once.” “Possibly, Never
theless, there have been three Flam-
let’s tombs, though only half of one
is still remaining. I must inform
you, if you do not know it already,
that one single tomb was quite in
sufficient to satisfy the curiosity of
English visitors. "At one time there
was no Hamlet’s tomb at ail at Elsi
nore; for, as you are aware, the Dan
ish Prince never set foot in Zealand,
either alive or dead. But the English,
whocmie in crowds to Elsinore,
insisted on having one; and so some
body made them tomb the first.
But the crowds of tourists increased
to such an exieut, and so annoyed
the owner of the land where the
monument stood, that, in order to
divide, if he could not suppress, the
fioeks of piigrinus, he set up another
tomb at the further end of his prop
erty. But that did no good; because
the English—you know how curious
they are—would visit both the tombs,
he therefore, driven to despair, erect
ed a third tomb. The two first
have disappeared, and only a portion
of the third remains. I sup
pose the English have carried away
the rest of it piecemeal in their pock
ets, to enrich their Shakespearean
museums.
At the indicated spot M. Comet
tant found something like a mile
stone much the worse lor wear, with
out any inscription, around wliiehan
English fatuity, father, mother and
five ehilnren (he ought to have made
them twelve), were standing, appa
rently in earnest prayer; but on ap
proaching he found they were pious
ly reciting the famous monologue,
“To be, or not to be.”
Bev. E. P. Goodwin, of Chicago, is
a preacher of a statistical turn of
mind. He calculates that the country
spends anuuaily for kid cloves $25.-
000,000; for dress goods, $12-5 000,000;
for’tobaeeo, $S0.000 000. and for for-
ibought, and spoke regretfully of the | eign travel, $1S0,000,000. Fie lately
ges that sorrow had wrought in
her fresh young face.
Forty years were gone, and but for
the sad, wistful face of old Amy, and
the whispered stories of the peasant
ry, the unaccountable disappearance
t Aiick would have been forgotten.
But the tale told in an under breath
by many a hearth was that Aiick
had been carried off by an evil spirit,
with whom he had held compact.
Many even went so far as to say that
his soul haunted the old cottage and
made these figures the basis for a very
forcibe sermon on selfishness.
* Not a Rising Young Max.—
Aramiuta thinks seriously of apply
ing for divorce on the ground of
fraud. She was induced to marry
Frederick, she said, principally be
cause everybody said he was a rising
young man; but when it comes to get
ting up to build the kitchen fire these
cold mornings, he doesn’t rise worth
a cent. Hence Araminta’s grievance.
“Sj you don’t wont me to marry
Lauis, Aunt Sophia!” came from the
trembling lips. Georgia Arnold, the
wilful young beauty was not in a
mood to appreciate the wise counsel
of her aunt.
“I do not want to give my consent
to a union that would render you
miserable, Georgia,” replied the lady
firmly; “and you would be the wife
of a drunkard?”
“He promised me that be would
quit drinking,” said Georgia a little
foarfuliy this time.
“How long since, child?”
“More than a month ago.”
The lady was silent for a few mos
ruents; then she said gravely:
“Georgia, I told you at first that
the habit was confirmed with Louis
Howe. He was 10 years old when
I first saw him intoxicated. He is
is now 24.
“But he may have kept his prom
ise, Aunt Sophie.”
“Don’t delude yourself with that
belief, Georgia. Louis Howe passed
by here last night so deeply intoxi
cated that he could scarely hold the
reins. You neednotlook incredulous
child; it i3 true. If he was a man of
high moral principle I would hope
that a wife’s gen lie influence might
save him. But I tkiuk there is no
human lae!p for him.”
A long pause, during which Geor
gia was endeavoring (to restrain the
tears that would come. After a while
Miss Chester continued thoughtfully
“I have known one instance when
a wife’s gentle influence saved a no
bie man from disgrace and antisera-
bie death, pej haps. But he had only
j ust began to quaff from the poisoned
cup, aud besides, he was far superior
in character to Louis Howe. You
remember that you were remarking
only the other day upon the happi
ness oi your cousin, Ada Melbourne,
and her husband. They were mar
ried while you were at boarding
school.”
Georgia looked up in eager expecta
tion.
“I will tell you of it now. Not be
cause I believe that aDy pure influ
ence couid actuate Louis, but.because
happened to he uppermost in my
mind. Ada was always a strange
girl—reserved, modest and gentle
yet firm and decided sometimes,
was never tired of watching her face;
she lived with me then you know
She was in all respects such a wos
man as was rarely to be found.
* One day she came to me aud told
me that one of her admirers had pro
posed,
“ ‘What was your answer, Ada?”
I asked.
“I rejected him decidedly, Aunt So
phie, sue replied. ‘I would not mar
ry a man who gave promise of filling
a drunkard’s grave.’
“ ‘He drinks moderately,’ I said
just for the purpose of trying her.
“ ‘My husband must be totally ab
stemious,’ she said firmly.
“I rejoiced at her decision, and was
still happier when she gave her
promise to Charley Melbourne to be
his wife.
“They were married, and, at the
urgent request of both, I went to live
with them iu their new home. Their
sky was cloudless for a time, but af
ter awhile I saw that Ada was look
ing sad and careworn. I did not
question her about it, but waited un
til she should come to me, which she
did before long.
“ ‘Oh, Aunt Sophie, I am so miser
able!’ she exclaimed. I soothed
her tenderly, and after a while,when
she had become calmer, she told me
ail. That her rejected suitor, from
motives of revenge, probably, was
endeavoring to draw Chatiey away
from home influences. 1 I have tried
to warn him’ she said, ‘but he is gen
erous to a fault, and will not believe
in the possibility of such an
aet of treachery. He went
(o the club last night with him, and
was almost angry when I tried gen
tly to remonstrate. Oa! what shall
Ido?”
“Ada was almost despairing then,
aud it. was nearly beyond my power
to encourage her. At length, howev
er, she arose, understanding that she
alone couid save trim, and determined
to do everything iu her power.
“That night Charley did not come
home to tea. I knew that Ada an-,
ticipafed a repetition of the last
night’s experience. I couid not sleep,
and for dreary hours I could hear
her walking restlessly up aud down
in her room. Just at 12 Charley
came home.
“With a wisdom, which few per
sons of more mature years possess,
she said nothing to him then. His
voice floated intomesomewhat husk
ily, and I feared the worst. An hour
later my door was opened softly and
Ada cameio and threw herself down
on the side of the bed, murmuring
sadly:
“ ‘Oh. Aunt Sophie, it is just as I
feared; Charley has been drinking.
He led htm into temptation and will
neve be satisfied until he leads him
oa to ruia.-He came to the door with
Charley. I saw him waiting outside
thinking, perhaps, to hear my "re
proaches aud my grief. Like the
Indian at the stake, however, I sup
pressed ail.’
“ ‘You have acted wisely, Ada!” J
replied, soothingly; ‘but don’t de
spair yet. He has only just entered
upon the downward path, and you
cp-n save him, if any earthly power
can.’
“ ‘I wish I could think so,’ she re
turned. ‘But if you had oniy
knowu my anguish when he
entered the room an hour ago. He
has never tampered with intoxica
ting liquors, and a little has sufficed
to overthrow him completely.’
“For a long time she mourned
thus; then she recollected her deter
mination of the day, and rose iu
firm hope. Poor Ada! I coud appre
ciate her agony.
“Not one word of reproach to her
husband came from Ada’s lips
the next day. With smiling face aud
ciierfu) words she greeted him on
every occasion, aud would have
seemed the most suunybearted crea
ture iu the world to a casual observ
er. It was not a business day with
him, ami theiefore he had no occa
sion to leave home. I arose from the
tea-table first, and as I passed up the
stairs, glanced into Ada’s sitting
room. Everything was arranged
as only Ada’s hand could have ar
ranged it, neatly and gracefully. I
understood the tender care she had
employed, and hoped the loving wife
would receive her reward.
“They came up together a few
minutes later, and since my door was
ajar I could hear every word. Ada
opeued her elegant melodeon and
proposed music. Charley hesitated
and at length told her that he had
promised him—the man of whom I
have spoken—to meet him down
town on very important business.
There was a short pause. ‘Charley’
Ada’s voice was trembling—‘I know
well what he wants. Twice now he
has led you into temptation. Will you
blindly follow him again?”
‘“You are unjust to him,’said
Charley, loftily.
“‘No, Charley, I am not unjust
But would my love for you be love,
indeed, if I were silent when you are
on the road to ruin?”
“It ;was a htrd struggle. Ada
pleaded with all the earnestness ol a
true woman’s love, and prevailed at
length, for I heard him say:
“ ‘Ada, my noble wife, with Heav
en’s help and yours I will never go
astray again,’
“There were sleepless eyes aDd
happy beans iu Ada’s home that
night.
‘ Months passed away, and Char
ley, awakened to a full sense of his
danger, succeeded iu withdrawing
himself wholly from the subtle web
that the tempter was weaving around
him. One evening iu December we
three gathered in the sitting room. I
sat iu the lamplight |sewiug, Charley
in his luxurious arm chair reading
the dailies, and Ada stood by the
window, absently gazing down into
the street. Suddenly an exclama
tion of surprise and astonishment
burst from her lips, and both of us
arose aud joiued ner. Passing, or
rather staggering along the street,
under the frill ;blaze ol the gaslight
was Charles Melbourne’s tempter
deeply intoxicated, looking the
wreck of what he might ouce have
been.
“Charley looked down at him with
paleface until he had passed from
view, then placed his hand on Ada’s
head, and exclaimed with emotion:
“Ada, my nobie wile, I owe my re
covery from that threatened luin to
you!”
“And that man, Aunt S'phie,”
asked Georgia, with interest, “wh<
was he, and is he still living?”
“That man, my dear niece,is Louis
Howe!”
“Oh, Aunt Sophie.” The blue
eyes bad a look of sudden fright,then
her face flushed haughtily. “It
enough. I know what answer to
give me now.”
Thejuext morning when Mr. Howe
called for his final answer, he receiv
ed a very decided “No.”

Telemachus, it will do you ever so
much good, if every once iu a while
you will go away by yourself for an
hour or two and get real well ac
quaiuted with yourself. “As a man
thiuketh, so is he.” And you will
never “know thyself” thoroughly
unless now aud then you get alone
aud sit down aud talk to yourself,
cross-examine yourself; learn what
you kuow, what are your ambitious,
your aims, your hopes; what is your
real character, because, my dear boy,
your reputation may be one thing ana
your ciiaracter quite another. Some
times it does happen, in this faulty-
old world, that a really good man, a
man whose character is above re
proach, may bear the reputation of
a rascal, and once in a while, two or
three times iu a while, iu fact, a ras
cal wears the stolen reputation of an
honest man. Goaway now and then
my boy, and sit down all by yourself
aud think. Think of nothing under
the sun hut yourself. Yes, 1 know
my sou, there are men who neve
think of anything else, aud God nev
er made more useless meu; hut that
is because they do ail their thinking
about themselves publicly aud alouu
They uever thiuk aloue.
You will be honest with yoursel
when you are alone, my boy. A man
is apt to be honest with himself iu
thedark. He does not pose in heroic
postures when he has no audience,
When he stands face to face with him
self, with no human eye to watch
him, and no human ear to listen to
his confession, and only T his Maker,
who knows every secret motive aucl
thought of his life, to see aud to lis
ten^ man has to he honest. How
could he he a hypocrite then? Why
my boy, I somstimes thiuk when the
two men went up into the temple to
pray” the Pharisee was partly led to
pray as he did, because he prayed for
an audience; to the congregation
rather than to God. He had his po
itiou in society and in the syua
gogue to maintain, and he wanted
every mau who heard that prayer to
knowjusl whatkiud of a mau he was
and how good he was, and so he told
ail the good things about himself that
he knew. “I am not as other men
are—extortioners, unjust, adulterers
or even as this publican.” But the
poor publican, “standing afar off,”—
ah, that was what made him honest;
he was away from the crowd; nobody
could hear him; he was aloue with
God; the omnipotent and omniscient
who knew the secret heart of the pub
lican better than the poor man knew
it himself, and knowing this, slaud-
ug face to face with himself, he had
to be iionesljhe saw aud bekuew how
weak aud faulty he was; how mar
red was all his life with bright prom
ises and poor, broken, incomplete
fulfillment, aud a3 he faced himself
and realized how weak and faulty all
his life had been aud was, hecould not
and “would not so much as lift up his
eyes unto heaven, butsmote upon his
breast” from his penitent heart aDd
quivering lips broke the old prayer;
the cry for mercy that has welled uj
from human hearts ever since, echo
ing the wailing cry of the poor man
wiio stood afar off; “God be merciful
to me, a sinner.”
Get away from the crowd a little
while every day, my boy. Stand one
side aud let the world run by, while
you get acquainted with yourself,aud
see what kind of a fellow you are
Ask yourself hard questions about
j ourself; fiud out all you can about
yourself. Ascertain from original
sources if 3'ou are really the manner
of man people say you are. Find
out if you are always honest; if you
you always tell the square, perfect
truth in business deals; if your life
is as good aud upright at 11 o’clock at
night as it is at noon; if you are as
sound a temperance man on a fishm^
expedition as you are at a Sunday^
school picnic; if you are as good
boy when you go to Chicago as you
are at home; if, in short, you really
are the sort of young man your father
hopes you are, your mother says you
are, and your sweetheart believes you
are. Get on intimate terms with
yourself, my boy, and, believe me,
every time you come out from one of
those private interviews you will bea
better, stronger, purer man. Don’t
forget this, Telemacchus, and it will
do you good.
Mrs. Langtry’s age is a mystery
which is agitating metropolitan so
ciety. The only clue she has given
to it is the statement that she was
married at the age of twenty. As it
was not until several years after mar
riage that she set up in business as a
Loudon beauty, and as she followed
that occupation for several years
until the money gave out, and then
retired to the seclusion of Jersey for
a year or two before taking to the
stage, it is safe to say that she is over
thirty. But she is still young enough
—and, for that matter, old enough;
in fact, about in herheydey. '
Marriage,
Men and' womeu, and especially
young people, do not know that
takes years to marry completely two
hearts, even of the most loving and
well-sorted. But nature allows no
sudden change. We slope very
gradually from the cradle to thesum
mit of iife. Marriage is gradual, a
fraction of us at a time. A happy
wedlock is a long falling in love. I
kuow young persons think love be
longs only to brown hair and plump
round, crimson cheeks. So it does
for its beginning, just as Mount
Washington begins at • Boston hay,
But the golden marriage is a part of
love which the bridal day knows
nothing of. Youth is the tassel and
silken; flajver at love, age is me full
eorn, ripe and solid in the ear. Beau
lilu! is the morning of love with its
prophetic crimson, violet, purple and
gold with its hopes of days that are
to come. Beautiful also is the even
ingofiove, with its, glad remern
branee, aud its rainbow side turned
toward heaven as well as earth
Youog people marry their opposites
iu temper anu geneial character, and
such a marriage is generally a good
one. They do it instinctively. The
young mau does not say: “My black
eyes require to be wed to blue, aud
my overvebemenca requires to be a
little modified with somewhat
dullness aud reserve. When these
opposites come together to be wed
they do not know it. O.d people,never
marry their opposites, they marry
their similars and from calculation.
Each of these two arrangements is
very proper, in their long jour iei
opposites will fall out by the way a
gr?at many Units, aud both will
charm the other back again, and by
aud by they will be agreed as to the
place they Will go to, aud the road
they will go by and become lecou
died.The man will be nobler aud larg
er for being associated with so much
humanity uuiike himself, aud she
will be a nobier woman for having
manhood beside her, that seeks to
corrtct her deficiences aud supply
her with what she Jacks, if the diver
sity be not too great, aud there he
real piely and love iu their hearts to
begin with. Tbe old bridegroom,
having a much shorter journey to
make, must assoiatehimself with one
like himself. A perfect aud complete
marriage is, perhaps, as perfect
personal .beauty. Men and womeu
are married fractionally—now a
mall fraction, then a large fraction.
Very few are married totally, aud
they only, I think, after some loriy
or fifty years of gradual approach
mi excitement. Cjucii a large aud
sweet Jruit is a complete marriage
that it needs a very long summer to
ripen iu, and then a long winter to
mellow aud season. B it a real
happy marriage ot love and j uei,
iiieul between a man aud woman is
one of tiie things so very handsome
that if the sun were, as the Greek
poets fabled, a God, he might stop
the world iu order to feast his eyes
with su<5b a spectacle.
The Test of Poetry.—The test of
poetry is simple. The difference be
tween it and every other form of lit
erature is that it is metrical, aud
while imaginative prose need - noth
ing but imaginative life, poetry r
quires also metrical or rhythmic*life,
the meter must he an impulse ami
not an accident; aud though the
rhythm does not exist tor itself, it
must be so vital as toshow lhatit has
a right to exist for itself. To enrich
one’s genius by nourishing it on the
waters of life takes so much time aud
so much expenditure of force, that to
become the master of poetic methods
is given to but lew; for in the nuances
of metrical art are quite infinite, aud
it may be saiu without hesitation
that tnere are iu every fine poem del
icacies of metrical effect which are
lost to all save a haudfui of readers,
while to become a master aud crea
tor of these a life-long literary study
of poetry seems to be requisite. To
such a study men like Carlyle, Emer
son aud Toreau give no time at all.
Yet they try to write verse. Not only
do they write “poetry,” butthey find
people to read it aud admire it. Oue
man’s most lovable traits, distin
guishing him from raccoons and oth
er creatures, is his infinite capacity
for admiring his fellows. To Mr.
Sauburn, Thoreau’s doggerel verses
are as ravisbiDg as the music ot the
spheres. Iu prose, however, Tho-
reau has said most wise and beaulfful
things, and he will always fiud
place in literature.—Ihe Athenaeum.

She Loved Whist.—The wife of
Bishop Beadon loved whist so well
that when the prelate told one of his
clergy if he was able to sit up half
the night playing whist at the Bath
rooms he must be well enough to do
duty at home, the invalided one si
lenced him with, “My lord, Mrs.
Beadon would tell you that late whist
acts as a touic or restorative to dys
peptic people with weak nerves.
The bishop’s better half would have
sympathized with Goldsmith’s old
lady, who, lyiDg sick unto death,
played cards with the curate to pass
the time away, and, after winning
all his money, had just proposed to
piay for her funeral charges when
she expired.—Chamber's Journal.
Who Hoed the Bsnds ?—It is
popularly believed that the govern
ment bonds are nearly all held by tbe
national banks. Iu an article yester
day we quoted from the report of the
comptroller of the currency some fig
ures which go to show that nearly
two hundred aud forty millions are
held by the savings banks. Tbestate
banks and trust companies are credit
ed with a little more than twenty-
three million dollars and private
baukers with only fourteen million
dollars. In round figures, the nation
al banks, tbestate banks and the sav
ings banks hold six hundred and
seventy-six million dollars in bonds,
or less than one-half of our whoie
indebtedness. The treasury figures,
if they are accurate, show that the
public debt is more widely scattered
than is generally supposed.—N. Y.
Herald.
Obigix of the Pexxaxt.—Refer
ring to the newspaper statements
lhat two brooms have been hoisted
on General Butler’s granite castle in
Washington, opposite the capitol, it
may interest readers to know that
t is a custom iu England to hang a
broom at the masthead ofavtssei
offered for sale by aueiioa. When
Van Tromp, the Dutch admiral,
hoisted a broom at the masthead of
his flagship to indicate his intention
to sweep the English from the seas,
the English admiral hoisted a horse
whip, indicating his intention to
chastise the insolent Dutchmen. Ever
since that time the narrow (i, e.,
horsewhip) pennant has been the dis
tinctive mark of a vessel of war of
all nations. The broom has become
the symbol of an auction sale.
True Wit.
They were discussing Thackery's ‘'English Hu
mnr.sta.”
Who was it, Mias Catting, that said ‘True wit
never produces a smile ?* ”
**I really can’t tell yon, Mr. Quotation, but it
is to me be must have beard a good many of you

SYMPTOMS OF A DISEASED LIVER.
Bad Breath; Bain in the Side, sometimes the
. in is felt under the Shoulder-blade, mistaken for
Rheumatism ; general loss of appetite; Bowels
generally costive, sometimes alternating with lax;
the head is troubled with pain, is dull and heavy,
with considerable loss of memory, accompanied
with a painful sensation of leaving undone someth ing
■which ought to have been done; a slight, dry cough
and flushed lace is sometimes an attendant, often
mistaken for consumption; the patient complains
5 and debility; nervous, easily startled;
burning, sometimes a prickly sensation
.pirits arc low and despondent,
feet cold
of the skin exists, _ r
and, although satisfied that exercise would be bene'
ficial, yet one can hardly summon up fortitude to
try it—in fact, distrusts every* remedy. Several
of the above symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have^occurred when but few of them existed, yet
examination after death has shown the Liver to
have been extensively deranged.
It should he used by all persons, old and
young, whenever any of the above
symptoms appear.
Persons Traveling or Living !n Un
healthy Localities, by taking a dose occasion
ally to keep the Liver in healthy action, will avoid
all Malaria, Bilious attacks, Dizziness, Nau
sea, Drowsiness, Depression of Spirits, etc. It
will invigorate like a glass of wine, but is uo in
toxicating beverage.
II You have eaten anything hard of
digestion, or feel heavy after meals, or sleep
less at night, take a dose and you will be relieved.
Time and Doctors* Bills will be saved
by always keeping the Regulator
J in the House!
For, whatever the ailment mav be, a thoroughly
safe purgative, alterative and tonic can
never be out of place. The remedy is harmless
and does not interfere with business or
pleasure.
IT IS PURELY VEGETABLE,
And has all the power and efficacy of Calomel or
Quinine, without any of the injurious after effects.
A Governor’s Testimony.
Simmons Liver Regulator has been in use in my
family for some time, and I am. satisfied it is a
valuable addition to the medical science.
J. Gill Shorter, Governor of Aia.
Hon. Alexander H. Stephens, of Ga.,
says: Have derived some benefit from the use of
Simmons Liver Regulator, and wish to give it a
further trial.
“The only Thing that never fails to
Relieve.**—I have used many remedies for Dys
pepsia, Liver Affection and Debility, but never
have found anything to benefit me to the extent
bimmons Liver Regulator has. I sent from Min
nesota to Georgia for it, and would send further for
such a medicine, and would advise all who are sim
ilarly affected to give it a trial as it seems the only
thing that never fails to relieve.
P. M. Janney, Minneapolis, Minn.
Dr. T. W. Mason says: From actual ex
perience in the use of Simmons Liver Regulator in
my practice I have been and am satisfied to use
and prescribe it as a purgative medicine.
